This Is Just a Test.mp3

LYRICS
This is a test. I’d suggest there’s not that much cause for alarm… ‘less you fear harm.

I was just testing
Testing you testing me
Testing you testing me testing you, too
It’s just me testing you
Since you’re testing me, too
Here I am testing you, too
When I can see… you’re testing me

Digesting the testing
Trying to see
What your test score will be

Thank God! This is only a test. In the event, of a real emergency you should contact God directly. No good testing me if you have shown no empathy to your society. For you see, we’re all part of society. And, I’ll attest my life is a test… for me… and society. After all, you are part of all. You are part of all, after all. Thank God! This is only a test. A testament to what we meant. A testament to our life’s experiment. It’s only a test. Time to do our best. The test of tests.

LYRICS
Can we dream a scene less obscene
Less greed, envy and being mean?
The annihilation of being self-annihilating
A constitution of love negating hating
Where we find a solution for all our pollution
And everybody gives a $hit where they take a $hit
Admits to it and takes care of it
We don’t need to start with all of it
Just a little bit
One little baby step in the right direction
Before ya know it
We’ll be running toward a humanity resurrection
A revolution over insurrection yielding human salvation
Taking responsibility as a society
So, one day you can say
To your children’s children’s children
“This is the view the humen left behind for you”

LYRICS
Hey diddle diddle there’s a doll with a fiddle
And some cat playing the spoons
Sing, “Ring around the Rosie”
Singin’…
And we’ll all go round and round
Then we’ll all fall down

Little Boy Blue come blow your horn
Play Boogie Woogie Blues until the ‘morn
The sheeple are in the meddle
Politicians are all the scorn
Say, “Play the blues on your horn song”
Play all the day long
Say, “All the livelong day”

LYRICS
The times are changing… changing fast
Won’t be long ’till the future’s past
Yeah, time is changing… sure hope it’ll last
But you can’t hang on….
Better off letting go
Better off… just let it flow

The times are changing… to the future we go
Won’t be long ’till the future we know
Yeah, time moves faster until I slow
Use to be my lifetime was a whole year
Now a year’s a fraction of my time here

LYRICS
These cats are cool
I ain’t playing their fool
These cats are cool

The band at hand
Do you understand?
If ya get basic
It’s like magic
Soothing over the tragic
Like a God given gift
Sharing the benefit

Some old
Some new
But they knew
The story told
Never grows old

Cats chillin’
Cooooool
Shakin’ Not Stirred.
Purrrrrrfect!

Please Navigator
Set navigation for the location
Of under blue skies
Under blues sky
Is it time to fly?

Navigator,
By the way…
Is time for me to say
We’re shoving off
Enough’s enough
See ya later
Navigator?

Please, Navigator… set navigation for the location
Of Blues skies
Where the spirit flies

Happy
And know why
Happy I’m alive to be I
Eye to eye
Under blues sky
I can see, see, see

LYRICS
Come out of the dark
Meet me in the park
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day
And, when the sun does set
We won’t be done yet
Gaining insight into the night

Let’s shift out of park
Into drive… embark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

Chorus

Come out on a lark
Imagination spark
We’ll frolic, dance and play
In the light all day

LYRICS
Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You don’t deserve the blues

All the time you try
Wasted moments ’till we die
Personal pie-in-the-sky
Question your existence — why?

Hate to break the news
Hate to pick n’ choose
Hate to break the knews
You didn’t earn the blues

Without selfishness
Devoid of ignorance
Never pretentious
No arrogance

LYRICS
When I catch myself being rote
Makes me feel like such a dope
And then I begin
By saying it all over again
Repetitious rote
On remote
Control
That ain’t rock n’ roll
When I catch myself being rote
Makes me feel like such a dope
Is there any hope?
When I listen to what is true
Hope to convey it to you
Hope to relay it to you
Hope I can say it… to you

Won’t save my love for a few
Though trite it’s not spew
I’m saying, “I love you”
Remote from being rote
I love you

LYRICS
Under your wing
I find it hard to sing
Though you think it best
This isn’t your nest
Now it’s time we try to fly
Our fly away day

You think you may know what’s best
But we contest
Me… and all the rest
Learning how to bequest
Is what She suggests
Digest wisdom
Then give some

Transcending the wedge
With knowledge
Acknowledge
Abolish abolish

What you think you see ….
Is that reality?
Basically
Your reality is killing me

Oh please save me
From your reality
Your reality
Is killing me

One is one
You can’t make it undone
Two is two, too
The definition is not up to you

After all….
Who is the biggest killer of us all
It’d be us by far
No need to fear
Of them reaching near
It would be us by far

Reading minds
Reading between the lines
Which kind want to be kind?
Read between the lines
One finds
Reading between the lines
They’re reading minds

Man’s maneuvers
Purveyors of slayers

Come on groovers
Come on players
Help maneuver the movers
And, say “hey!” to the slayers
Hey! Don’t slay
In essence, this isn’t rocket science
Reading minds
Reading between the lines

LYRICS
As the NOT’s in the climate tangle
Need to wrangle a new angle
As the NOT’s in the climate knot
The knot of the winds increase
Sustained winds that wouldn’t cease
Then, the rain came down all around
Until the ground was awash in a flood
Up to my eyeballs in gook, muck and mud

The have’s and the have not’s
All have knots
All have knot
All in knots
Over having “not”

All the world is a stage in The Damage Age

Force 12
Hurricane’s off the shelve
Starting out at 64 knot
Yet not
Done
Sure ain’t no whatnot
Better run
Yell, fella, “To the storm cellar!”

Tangled In Not’s.mp3

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
C C# Cm C#m

A song about wind speeds (in knots) and human induced climate change.

“A universal scale of wind speed values — since the scale was originally nautical in nature, and that most wind reports at that time were in nautical miles per hour (or converted to them), these numerical values were given in knots. It was a progressive scale with the range of speed for Forces increasing as you go higher. Thus Force 1 is only 3 knots in range (1 kt – 3 kt), while the Force 11 is eight knots (56 kt – 63 kt) in range. So Force 12 [Hurricane] starts out at 64 knots (74 mph, 33 m/s).”
